  • Experience and success in providing awareness, training, and client facing service within areas of intellectual property, commercialization, or related supports.
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication (written, verbal and digital) skills who are comfortable presenting and speaking in public and working together in a team.

Assets include:

  • Familiarity with the region's BAIs, business enabling organizations, and the startup community.
  • Experience engaging underrepresented groups in educational, innovation or commercializationbased activities.
  • Bilingual (French/English): Desired but not imperative.
